Description
Ron Edelaar, Elli Mosayebi, and Christian Inderbitzin founded their firm in Zurich in 2005. Their broad scope of work encompasses design and realisation of building projects, urban planning, exhibitions and publications. Housing is a key interest in their research, teaching, and practice. Beside individual teaching appointments, Edelaar Mosayebi Inderbitzin are teaching as joint visiting professors at ETH Zurich in 2017-18. The garden, a recurring motif in the work of Edelaar Mosayebi Inderbitzin Architects, features prominently in many of their architectural projects as idea, vision, or built space. In their exhibition Garden at Architektur Galerie Berlin in fall 2016, the architects foregrounded that topos and, in collaboration with Swiss landscape designer Daniel Ganz, transformed the gallery space into a living garden. This eponymous book features this temporary installation and offers an insight into its making in striking photographs. Essays by Edelaar Mosayebi Inderbitzin and Stephen Bates and a conversation with the architects by Martin Steinmann explore the meaning of the garden in a selection of their projects also from an historical and theoretical perspective.
